I think I also replied to you under the rollcall thread. We are a couple (just good friends that work together (mid40s and mid20s). I am sesasoned cruiser, but this is my first on Holland America. Really looking forward to sailing on this new ship.

Question--
I think you have been on Holland before. Was there an FOD on that cruise? Our last few cruises were on Carnival, Norwegian and Princess. And though the quality of these cruises varied, we had a great time on each (on the last Carnival cruise, there were over 100 gay men on board, and we completely took over the piano bar for the duration of that cruise).

Yes we have been on Holland America before. Loved every moment. And yes there were FOD meetings. Since we had no clue what that meant, we never attended. I guess we just arent up with the latest things. But we did meet others (gaydar), and had a very nice time.

Thanks for your reply. I think I have only attended one FOD of all my cruises. Have usually met other guys in the lounges and other public areas aboard ship without needing to attend a formal FOD gathering. The Eurodam looks to have several nice venues for evening cocktails and socializing.
